Oben Electric Unveils New ‘O100’ Platform to Enter India’s 100cc Equivalent Electric Motorcycle Segment. Affordable, Mass-Market EVs to Launch Under ₹1 Lakh Later This Year

Oben Electric, a pioneering Indian electric motorcycle manufacturer known for its in-house R&D capabilities, is set to launch its second indigenous platform — O100 (pronounced O Hundred). Developed at the company’s cutting-edge R&D center in Bengaluru, the O100 platform marks Oben Electric’s strategic foray into the 100cc equivalent motorcycle segment, which constitutes nearly 30% of India’s two-wheeler market.

The O100 platform will power a new generation of affordable electric motorcycles priced under ₹1 lakh, aimed squarely at India’s mass commuter segment. Engineered for scalability and rapid deployment, the platform is designed with modular architecture that supports multiple variants, battery configurations, and features to meet diverse rider needs.

“At Oben Electric, we build with purpose — to address real mobility challenges across India. O100 is engineered for the everyday Indian commuter, making EVs more accessible and practical,” said Madhumita Agrawal, Founder and CEO, Oben Electric. “With our proprietary LFP battery technology, and other core components like the motor, VCU, and chargers developed entirely in-house, we’re creating a vertically integrated ecosystem that’s built for scale and long-term impact.”

Key Highlights of the O100 Platform:

  • Price Target: Electric motorcycles under ₹1 lakh

  • Design Philosophy: Modular and future-ready for evolving tech and infrastructure

  • Scalability: Optimized for faster rollouts and manufacturing ramp-ups

  • Adaptability: Supports multiple variants for diverse use cases and user segments

  • Indigenous Development: 100% engineered and built at Oben’s Bengaluru R&D center

Oben Electric is on an aggressive expansion path across Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 cities, aiming to establish over 100 dealerships by the end of 2025. The O100 platform is expected to significantly boost sales volumes and enhance dealer profitability through high-turnover products in one of the most price-sensitive markets in the country.

This new platform builds on the success of Oben’s first platform, ARX, which powered the Oben Rorr and Rorr EZ—performance-focused electric motorcycles that redefined the premium commuter category.

Motorcycles based on the O100 platform are scheduled to launch in the second half of 2025, setting the stage for Oben Electric to become a key player in India’s high-volume electric two-wheeler market.
